Within Blazing Flame Valley, after every disciple of Xiling City had been subdued, the elders and leaders of the various visiting factions were all silent as cicadas in winter.
"I know you are all uneasy right now. Some of you may even think I'm outrageously bold, but remember this: Blazing Flame Valley is the true overlord of the southwestern Central Region."
